Swimmer of the Year

Narayan Naik, Heritage Hall

Senior100 Backstroke

A healthy Naik showed what he can do when he’s 100 percent. Not only did he win 5A championships in this event and the 200 individual medley, he led the Chargers quartet that earned a shocking win in the 200 free relay.

Dakota Wheeler, Westmoore

Senior100 Breaststroke

A sinus infection had Wheeler less than 100 percent, but it didn’t matter as the Jaguars star still ended up winning this event and the 100 butterfly. He won both events by more than a second.

Coach of the Year

Kent Nicholson, Norman

When it meant the most, Nicholson’s boys swam their best. Norman North placed fourth while Norman took seventh. Not only are the Norman schools one of the more consistent programs now, they’re loaded with talent coming back.
